Hi ka2uki,

Any news from ownhere? Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
here you go.
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
If you have cwm then try the zip. Many times that's the only way I can install.
[Android Apps and Games] ka2uki:
sorry, in China ..we are busy our Chinese New Year's Day..so maybe the V2 version will be delay..but i will upload it..if it is out~;)
[Android Apps and Games] :
The TTS reads xml instead of turn right etc. Anyone had the same problem? I'm using ICS on my vision
[Android Apps and Games] ynamojn:
I don't face that problem with szihs's build. Resetting my phone doesn't reset the setting. The map setting is still intact.

Anyway, perhaps after the New Year, ownhere can update his build.

Finally, a version that can open navigation directly.

Thanks a bunch.

Thank you sir.

I was having problems like you (on I9100), every other method didn't work (tested your CWM zip as well), then szihs mentioned this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20363136#post20363136

Might wanna give it a go?

For me, a particular 6.1.0 version worked just fine (installed from APK), then installed szihs' 6.1.1 upload. So haven't tried the above

Hopefully one of them work for you soon =)
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
thanks for the info. I did try and delete the odex as well but that didn't seem to help. I am able to get the 611 that of used in my zip file to work but it sounds like the szih version is working better ie navigation.

The odd thing is I can delete the current working maps. Apk from my system/appear and copy over the szih one and reboot and it wont work. Then I copy over 602 or that unsigned 611 and reboot and it works . Why do some files work while others don't?

Even if I install the szih version via zip it doesn't work. Makes no sense to me .

Did the zip I posted work for you?

Also, which 610 worked for you as I don't think I found any that worked for me.
[Android Apps and Games] unknowners:
Phone is not downloading the the .apk file after 31 KB it says finished! What do I do?
[Android Apps and Games] ellimist87:
The zip you posted didn't work for me =(

Same thing with you here, I have some that work and some that don't. Had a 6.1.0 apk install method working for me some pages back, then I got his 6.1.1

edit: found the 6.1.0 that worked for me:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21599129&postcount=1874

Truth be told, there were so many of them posting 6.1.1s, I'm not entirely sure anymore I used his, lol. But my navigation works by clicking it, so should be his.
[Android Apps and Games] szihs:
this should solve the installation problems.

Okay Guys, I figured out as much.

IF you remove OldMaps.apk and OldMaps.(o)dex manually, and reboot before placing the NewMaps.apk, it messes up the /data/system/packages.xml file and gives an error.

Two Steps, these choices.

1a) adb uninstall com.google.apps.maps

1b) or use TitaniumBackup to remove if system application

1c) or remove manually OldMaps.apk and OldMaps.(o)dex. (

DON'T REBOOT HERE, if use this step

)

2a) adb install NewMaps.apk for userapp..

2b) or adb push NewMaps.apk /system/app , or updatezip, for system app.

Refer: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5591836&postcount=34

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5592017&postcount=35

So if you still face error, pull the above packages.xml file. Edit the file to remove com.google.apps.maps entry under its <TAG .... /TAG>, and push back. (BACKUP UP).

On other note, I So I removed one wrong link, error popping in adb logcat.

W/dalvikvm( 1258): VFY: unable to resolve static method 14208: Lbrut/gmm/Debug;.dump (Lag/b;Ljava/lang/String;)V

Using this can one still upgrade to latest versions of maps

Earlier the applications were seperate - Google maps and Google maps Brut.

But with this apk it takes it as google maps i.e only one applications.

If one installs this , can one still get the latest updates from Google (as and when its available on the market) ? If not what is an alternative?

Please advise

Long press on the file from Root explorer or similar, then select permissions and there you change the file permissions.

R--, r--, --x would indicate the file permissions should be set to read, read, execute for each group given.

I don't get what Maps_mod_620.apk is for!?!?!
[Android Apps and Games] szihs:
i just ported the maps myself for the impatient ones like me.

someone mentioned there is new year in china, so maybe he will upload when time.

b/w i just ported from their modified apk. so its the same.

I used "shared" keys in ZipSigner2 to sign this. but if some problem see my previous reply regarding installtion problems.
[Android Apps and Games] kaibird:
oh ok~~

so Maps_mod_620.apk is already singed by zipsigner2?!
[Android Apps and Games] szihs:
i've never understood this signing process. can we install apk without any sign (i think no). but correct me.

Maybe there is a method to copy keys from the original google maps to duplicate. (it seems not possible, because that is encryption right ?)

i just choose "shared" keys mode because that seems to work for me..

(autotest keys, i tried but no luck)

[Android Apps and Games] ynamojn:
Sign or Unsign

If I am not mistaken, if you want to install it in the /system/app folder (system application), the apk doesn't need to be signed. Since the apk is already in the /system/app (which normally not accessible), it is make sense for the Android system to assume the apk came from a trusted source although it is unsigned.

To install it like other applications in /data/app, the apk need to be signed. This is to verify that the apk come from a trusted source and can be trusted.

Please correct me if I am wrong. This is based on my observation of previous releases.
[Android Apps and Games] szihs:
Correct, but if you see in every previous releases there is META-INF folder containing the Manifest.MF CERT.RSA CERT.SF, which means signed!

I think because google maps is shared application it still needs to be signed? Or we have to edit AndroidManifest.xml to remove that property.

<manifest android:sharedUserId="com.google.android.apps.maps" android:versionCode="602001402" android:versionName="6.2.0" package="com .google.android.apps.maps" >

I don't know.
[Android Apps and Games] orfeas:
success !!!

in Titanium wipe data for gmaps then uninstall

in Titanium wipe data for Street View then uninstall

open for editing /data/system/Packages.xml

delete every paragraph containing the word maps

save it

put in /system/app the new file Maps_mod_620.apk

Reboot

New maps is there, Navigation works all over the world, dedicated shortcut also works

Why is this version's file size much smaller that ownhere's 6.1.1? I hope it's not missing any features.
[Android Apps and Games] miloytyn:
Probably because it has been recompiled, the same reason why non-rooted versions that I have made are much smaller than the originals.
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
This worked perfectly. There was no need for me to mess with the XML file since I did it before with 6.11

If anyone needs the .zip of this let me know and I will package it.

[Android Apps and Games] gl7:
not working, flashed and rebooted but no maps, try run the maps in the system\app, error cannot install
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
If you see the new maps.apk in your system/apps and yet none of the icons are in the menu then you might need to edit the packages.xml file and remove references to maps as listed in a previous post. Then after you reboot the new maps will be able to install. I too couldn't install any of the new maps.apk until I cleared out all maps references from my xml file. Now 6.11 and 6.2 installed without any issue. If you want to test the zip file then delete the maps.apk in your system/app and flash the zip again and if you have a maps.apk in your system/app then it is the new one that came from the zip. If the icons are not showing up in the app drawer then you need to edit the .xml and reboot.

Here are the instructions for cleaning up the xml file.. personally I just copied the file to my computer and removed all the stuff that referenced maps.. if you look back a bit I pasted all the stuff I removed from my xml file.

sed

Right,

Using sed with option (-i) will (d)elete the pattern to clean the packages.xml in place. (this way you need not copy file to PC, edit and replace back!) If you compare the file after issuing the sed command, you can notice that.
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
Looks correct.. Just make sure you backup the .xml before making changes in case you find you have an issue after you reboot and want to revert back.

Maps_mod_620_cleanup_xml.zip

Ok.. what I did was add the xml cleanup commands from szihs to the script in the zip. I tested it and it seems to work. You might still want to backup your packages.xml before trying this just in case.

Thanks for the modded maps.apk and the sed command go to szihs.

To use this zip you will need CWM recovery installed. Then you will just open the cwm recovery or the cwm app and select "Flash update" and point it to this zip and it will reboot and apply the new maps and clean your xml of the old maps references.

Of course, comments are welcome.

I should add that you will need busybox installed to access the sed command.

OOPS.. I forgot to uncomment a few lines in the script when I was testing... let me fix and test and will post the corrected version.

I've been wondering what the difference between the different ROM frameworks are. Only difference I've been able to discern was that Z roms get better Quadrant scores and have the potential to sport a 720p camera. Can anyone tell me if there are any advantages or disadvantages to running any of the 3 frameworks besides theme-ing?

I love re engineered z, its the most stable rom ive ever used and very fast. The camera is awesome. Dont know much else
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
The difference is what each phone brings to the table software-wise. If you like some of the software features of the Desire Z, use a rom with that framework. Same with the Evo. Or, if you want more of a stock experience without some of the limitations imposed by a ported ROM, the stick with a rom with Incredible framework.

Also, the 720p camcorder isn't unique to Z roms.

i play n64oid on my phone, a lot. but it pisses me off when the games start to lag and the games get really choppy. some are fine from the start but others are just unplayable. is it because of the app or can my nexus s not handle these games well?

i thought maybe if i overclocked it a little that might help but the phone does get hot when i play for a while so overclocking would only make it worse.

is there a temp that would damage the phone? and would overclocking help the choppy/lagginess?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
overclocking should help a little but it probably is the n64 emulator. all the game emulators arent perfect. the games arent developed for android, so sometimes they are choppy. and, btw, ive ran my ns over 120f on many occasions without issue. but you should keep it under 110 to be on the safe side.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DLFB:
I play RoboDefense all the time and whenever I clock it beyond 1000, it really really turns hot. Even @ 1000 it gets hot after 30 mins. It produces that "smell" which scares the ish out of me.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsquared:
Why is the Antenna on the bottom of the phone? I'll be holding my phone in an area with no bars and when I turn the phone upside down I will pick up 2 bars. I turn it back to normal and both bars go away. This is very annoying. Granted when I make a call the bottom of the phone is pointing up, BUT what about trying to download emails, or just holding your phone and trying to browse the internet.. I've seriously turned my phone upside down to do this.

As much as I love this phone, the Antenna on the bottom and the location of the micro USB slot might be enough to push me to the iphone 5 if it has a slide out keyboard.

What do you all think? Is it just me?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrocker23:
The antennas are at the top corners of the phone. If you take off the battery cover, you will see some gold prongs, those slip into the groves that are on the phone itself, Those are the antennas...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan03:
Those are the secondary antennas actually. The main battery is in almost every phone at the bottom, hence the external antenna plug on the TB is right under the kick stand.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrocker23:
Ok thank you for advising. good to know...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I think it's probably due to RF emissions being a little less close to your brain; the evidence seems to go back and forth over the years re: cellphone antennas and brain tumors, so who knows?
